Evening Primrose Oil is an effective on skin barrier repair and boosting radiance.

Lavender Essential Oil helps soothe inflamed or irritated skin while helping reduce skin blotchiness for a more even look. Creates a brighter and more radiant look to skin.

A signature Kiehl’s ingredient, Squalane is a botanical lipid that is similar in molecular structure to natural skin lipids. It has an exceptional affinity to skin, and because it’s easily absorbed, Squalane helps restore skin’s natural moisture balance to keep it extra soft and supple.

I credit the Midnight Recovery Concentrate with evening out my skin tone and texture. I have oily skin in some spots and dry skin in others and it helps both areas. Even in the humidity of the east coast, this help my skin stay less oily and hydrated. It's expensive, but it does wonders!

I have heard so many great things about this serum that I just had to try it for myself. It's more than I normally spend on beauty products but that just means that I expect it to work extra well. Hoping that it doesn't break my out!

The only beauty aid I have that I think is truly essential. I try to get all my friends to use it. Adds 'glow' back to my aging skin and is not oily. I have used it every night for 4 years and it still works.

"Kiehls products have proven to be consistently reliable and beneficial for my skin, regardless of age. I am a longtime fan - and so is my face which, thanks to your products and the fact that it has spent so much time in varying weather conditions - seems to be aging quite gracefully! Thank you, Kiehls."

Best Answer:There is a small symbol on either the box or back of the bottle, it looks like a small jar with an open lid and it should say 18m inside of it....or 12m I can't remember. That means it will be okay to use for up to 18 months after you open it.

Best Answer:This question was asked before and the answer was by Juliette D: She recommended that the Retin-A be applied to your skin first, then the midnight recovery because the midnight recovery will seal in the Retin-A, then put your moisturizer on.

I am 29 and I use professional skin care products. Midnight concentrate absorbs into my skin, has an awesome aromatic scent, and makes my skin look so bright in the morning it's just like I had a glycolic peel!

I'm 24 and I am obsessed with this product. I have combination acne prone skin and I feel this product does wonders for both characteristics of my skin. It balances my oil production throughout the day in my oily zones and hydrates my dry spots. It also really helps calm down my pimples and they heal much faster than before. Along with these benefits, everything people are raving about are true. The product lasts forever, I wake up with soft vibrant skin, it smells nice, and its easily absorbed by your skin.

I have a sample of the midnight recover concentrate. How do I use it? After cleansing, after moisturizing? Is it for face or eye area? There are no directions on sample. Thanks.

A shopper on Apr 18, 2012

Best Answer:Hi! I use this every night after cleasing and I don't even use a night time moisturizer anymore! You truly don't need a pm moisturizer when you use this product (of course you still need a daytime moisturizer). This product is amazing and you will see results after the first application if you use a few extra drops. I also put it on the back of my hands and elbows. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Before using the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, I cleanse my face in the early evening, apply the Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner and allow time for my skin to breathe. Prior to bed, I apply a nickel or so size amount of the Midnight Recovery Concentrate to the palm of my hand, rub both hands together, and then apply the Concentrate (rubbing upward/inward) to my cheek, chin, eye, forehead and neck areas (similar to giving yourself a facial). I then apply Creme d'Elegance Repairateur (in same manner above). I’m no expert, but this application and product really works for me!

I use this before I go to bed every-night. Sometimes after my toner, sometimes directly after cleansing. I feel really good in the morning. The smell of it is really comfortable and good for sleep. I put it all over my face except the eye area.

I use it after cleansing, toner, and serum (kiehl's clearly corrective dark spot)...Don't put it on eye area, use eye cream separately instead.. Kiehl's has some good eye products, I use 'Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream' and am satisfied with the result..

Use at night before you go to bed after you cleanse your face. I only use eye moisturizer when I use MRC, I don't have excessively dry skin. I put three drops on a cotton ball and apply to cheek area and sometimes forehead. When I wake up I have a healthy glow.

Use the Midnight Recovery Concentrate after cleansing. Use just a couple of drops, it really is a concentrate! It is for your face, I would avoid the eye area. Use it under moisturizer, or alone; it leaves your skin feeling super soft! Love this stuff!

I've been used it for a long time .It is for face. you can use it as a serum, so using after cleansing is ok. But as I'm a combination skin type, I'm not gonna use it in spring and summer. Hope this can help you.

Best Answer:Yes, yes, yes. I've been using it for over 2 years and wouldn't go to bed without it. Although it feels like as if your face is fully saturated at night, it's fully absorbed in the morning and your face looks and feels great. No one can believe I am over 60! Use it daily and you will see .

I think so. I'm definitely a senior and find this serum very beneficial. ( use it every night, let it soak into my skin before applying night moisturizer. I intend to stay with this product (which is unusual for me). Feels very nice on my skin and I think it helps.

Best Answer:It maybe a gentle product... but since it contains lavender essential oil, I don't think you want to use it when you're pregnant..But I'm not expert, I suggest you ask your doctor about its safety..

Best Answer:Absolutely! It is the basis of my nighttime regimen and I love the way my skin looks and feels. It is very light and new studies recommend using a light oil, like this, every night to hinder aging. I love it!

It depends on how oily your skin is? This has some light oil so it would not be good if you have a lot of oil production. I feel you need to use good products no matter your age to maintain healthy skin.

If you wash your face thoroughly before use it does not [this would be true of any new product on your skin] , in fact it absorbs quickly into the pores and does it's job throughout the night. However, always try samples first to see how it will treat your skin.

I put Line Reducing Concentrate on my face and Midnight Recovery eye cream on and then follow with the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. To me, it feels like more than enough. If you have very dry skin, maybe serum?

Best Answer:It is really for evening use, and yes I have been using this wonderful product since 2011. However, I use this product in the colder months twice a day IF I am not going outside. I always use the product about an hour or two before bedtime because you want it to absorbed thoroughly before retiring to bed.

I have sensitive skin and swear by this product. Try samples first to make sure for your skin.

you do not want to do this, simply because of your sunscreen or makeup. Midnight Recovery Concentrate is the last step of your night time skincare procedure. That's why you will not feel comfortable putting other stuff after your last step of skincare. Have beautiful skin with this!

Actually, that is when I use Midnight Recouvery. I use it instead of makeup. My neighbor was amazed at the look of my skin and now she uses it in the same way. I am almost 65 and I have great skin because of Kiehls.

You are more than welcome to if you have dryer skin. Just make sure you put a moisturizer on after. Sunscreen should be used as well if you're going to be in the sun, but that should be always no matter what.

Best Answer:This product works for me. I was unemployed for 8 months and did not treat myself to a new bottle when I ran out. My skin responded well when I began to use it again. Specifically works on the parenthesis lines for me.

Best Answer:I'm not sure about helping with acne as I have dry, mature skin. I don't think anything shrinks pores because that is partly genetic. I love this stuff though, maybe you should try some samples before you buy any.

I've found the Over Night Biological Peel to be more effective initially. Once your skin has experienced a good exfoliation, alternate the use of both products at night - be certain to use a thin coat (of each).

Can I use it with another serum? Like clearly corrective dark spot solution?

A shopper on Apr 9, 2013

Best Answer:You can definitely use both. I would put your clearly corrective on before midnight recovery. Midnight recovery actually helps to activate the vitamin C in your clearly corrective to work a little harder. And it also seals in your clearly corrective. Make sure to put on a moisturizer last!

Absoloutley,it is my all time favourite.I actually use it both day and night.IN THE MORNING,before my moisturiser and kiehls tinted moisturizer,and at night before my night creams.
I can't live without it,my dry skin loves it!

I prefer limiting the number of products in each use. I feel you can get more out of a specific product without mixing a lot of products together. I would use this alone or with a light moisturizer over this concentrate.

I'm confused. My mom got a very small bottle with other Kiehl products. There were no directions, but intuitively thought you'd use a drop or two under the eye. It appears that you use it as an all over moisturizer? If it's a recovery complex, wouldn't that mean targeted areas? Thanks for the help in advance!Jenny MedinaWellnessa wellness Educator

A shopper on Apr 22, 2013

Best Answer:Midnight recovery complex does its best work on areas that are dry, sun-damaged and prone to wrinkles. These areas tend to be focal, but the product can be used anywhere. It works well combined with moisturizer. Just a drop or two goes a long way. It will sting if it gets in your eye, so use caution around the eye area. This is one of my favorite products and I am always rewarded when I use it consistently.

I use it as an all over moisturizer at night after I exfoliate. I don't think it's intended for use around the eyes. I will say that it's a marvelous night-time product. For the daytime, it would be a little heavy. Since using it, I've noticed that my skin is softer and more supple. Hope this helps!

I use several drops on face and neck, it spreads nicely and goes a long way. Everyone says there is a very noticeable difference in my skin since I have been using Kiehl's products the last several years. Use and enjoy!

Best Answer:I do not see why not. What this product targets would clearly benefit men as well as it is meant to help produce a smoother, restorative effect. I saw results fairly quickly so a man would not get get discouraged using it. Men would also find it "user friendly" as it is not greasy, it is absorbed by your skin right away and it doesn't have to be used with any other product to reap its benefits. It is actually a great idea-might give my husband some for Father's Day!!

It really depends on your type of skin. If your skin is oilly, then my suggestion is not using it. It really works for anti-aging. I bought for my mom and she likes using it. But she is 50 years old. Since men's skin is more oily than women generally, it is may too much for you. However, if you have really dry skin, why not have a try. It's GOOD

I am over 80 yrs. old and have always and still have skin texture, tone that elicits complements. I want an overnite serum/creme that will not be greasy, absorb easily and leave skin in its natural state. My skin is normal, sometimes a little dry. Oftentimes I do not use an overnite moisturizer/serum as it is not needed and I wake up with my skin okay. Being blessed with good skin and good genes, what do you recommend for me. I am looking at Midnite Recovery Concentrate? Thanks in advance

Best Answer:Betty, I think Midnight Recovery concentrate would be a great choice for your normal/slightly dry skin. It really has something magic in it, because my skin always looks and feels better after I've applied it before turning in for the night.
It has a wonderful light texture and is not oily or greasy. It's that extra touch that your skin will really appreciate, even though it sounds like you have been blessed with great skin.
You can apply as much or as little as you want; I also like to apply some on my neck, too. It's a luxury you definitely owe yourself!

Since I have dry skin not combination skin I'm not really sure if I'm the one to answer your question, but I think you'd be happy with it. It does not seem too oily at all to me, so I would go ahead and try it, expecially on any dry areas. I hope this helps.

Can I use this with the Dark Spot Corrector? If so, which one should I put on first?

A shopper on Apr 9, 2012

Best Answer:I tried using both and I didn't really feel the effects, but then again I don't really have darkspot trouble areas. I felt like the consistencies of the products clash, so I love using the midnight recovery concentrate at night by itself, only with the midnight recovery eye, that's when i've notices and felt it's effects most. I think the dark spot solution might be better by itself..

Best Answer:I spray my face with a mist of Evian or Caudalie water, then apply the Midnight Oil. This helps it absorb into my skin nicely. I usually don't use anything after the Oil, but I'm in Houston where it's humid most of the time and my skin doesn't ever really dry out.

I personally use this product alone, as it is a very intense moisturizer. A little oily at first, but it gets completely absorbed by morning and leaves my skin feeling and looking wonderful. Enjoy! :) Marilyn in Birmingham

Best Answer:Absolutely! I use the Midnight Recovery Concentrate every night. I apply it directly under my eyes as well as on my cheekbones. Even tho' it's a concentrate, it absorbs quickly and there no lingering oiliness. If I forget to use it, I definitely notice that my skin is drier in the morning. You won't be disappointed.

USE THIS!! It actually helps lower the sebum production in your skin! Sebum is natural occurring oils in your skin. Just make sure you use about 4 drops and smooth over your whole face. I would use it 3 times a week.

Best Answer:I use this every night before I go to bed - simply squeeze one dropper full of concentrate onto your fingers and apply to your face and neck- avoiding under your eyes. I use their midnight recovery under eye serum along with this concentrate.

I use it at a minimum at night. A couple drops before bed smoothed all over my face. Sometimes I use it in the morning too, first thing. I find it moisturizers well before makeup. It is surprisingly not oily.

Best Answer:Not exactly sure how long it will last....what I do know is it lasts a long time because it doesn't take much and leaves your skin feeling so silky and soft. I use it every night and love it so much I ordered the larger bottle :)

I will be 59 yrs. young on 9-11 and have ok skin with the exception of laugh lines around my eyes and a sun/age spot on my right cheek. Will midnight recovery help both these problems? Thanks, Deb

A shopper on Sep 6, 2014

Best Answer:The midnight recovery concentrate is an excellent product. I use it in conjunction with the line-reducing concentrate which is actually what I would recommend more for the specific concerns you have. It contains a high concentrate of L-ascorbic acid which is the only form of stable Vitamin C you should use on your skin to experience notable reduction in lines/wrinkles and fading of age/sun spots.

Most certainly the serum will work for your laugh lines and the lines around your eyes. I've been using this concentrate for 2-3 years now. I have the furrowed lines between my eyes and within a couple of weeks the lines started to diminish. I'm very pleased with it. Now, I don't believe that it will work on sun spots. I have had one for a while and this product hasn't helped it.

I love this product, however can't speak to your question regarding removal of laugh lines or the sun spot. Laugh lines are a sign of a good life, enjoy them. I have noticed that this product has helped hydrate my skin and I am certain it is helping restore the health of my skin at night. I workout a lot and that tends to make my skin dry.

Best Answer:This product is great-but I wouldn't call it a moisturizer, as much as a protective serum. I follow it with the new, all purpose (purple jar) moisturizer, as well.Basically it is just what it says-a recovery concentrate!I use it over the wrinkle remover lotion,as Kiehl's recommends. If i skip that, or the Midnight Recovery Concentrate, it is really obvious.

ABSOLUTELY. I love this product. I use it every night after using the line/ wrinkle reducing Vitamin C product. It has helped to make my skin more supple and smooth. I then apply one of Kiehls terrific moisturizing creams to finish my night regime off.

I have used many products through the years and Kiehl,s is the best!

P.S Due to the product being very concentrated,please remember to use it sparingly .

Absolutely yes! When you use this in the pm, you don't need to use a moisturizer. You will wake up with soft, glowing skin. I use this every other night. I alternative with Peter Thomas Roth retinol because I am over 40. This product works better than Genifique!

I have delicate "middle aged" skin that has been getting progressively drier every year. I can feel this moisturizing formula feed my face moments after I apply it. It has a velvety, non greasy texture and makes my skin look younger overnight.

Best Answer:I use it under moisturizer at night. It gives an extra layer of moisture and the aroma works well to relax me at bed time. Because it's oil based I use the dropper so the formula gies further.

Best Answer:Personally, I would not use this around the eyes. It's slightly oily, and although it doesn't have a strong odor or sting my face there is something about it that makes me think it might sting a little if it were too near the eye. Instead I'd use a cream especially formulated for the eyes.

Best Answer:Both sizes of the Midnight Recovery Concentrate are under the 100ml allowable limit for traveling on airplanes. We do of course have samples of this available for when you make your next online purchase should you be interested in a more compact format.

I don't believe they carry a travel size, but the sales staff was more than happy to give me a sample size which was more than adequate for travel. The sample size was a very small glass bottle with dropper. Perfect for even a week-long trip!

I don't think you should start using anti aging products until you are in your 30's. If you start taking care of your skin in you teens, avoid the sun without sunscreen, eat right and drink lots of water, you should age well. All depends on your genetics anyway. And the quality of products you use while your young.

Best Answer:I really like this product. Have been using for ~1 year and I gave it as gifts to mom and mom in law. I use it as a moisturizer without anything else. i put it in the corners of my eyes, but not under my eyes. I have the eye version of it and I also have an eye cream from Kiehl's for my eyes.

I don't use it every night as I like to switch and I do put it around my eyes. My skin is very sensitive & I usually have problems with the smell causing my eyes to water but NOT this one. I hope this helps.

DO I CAN PUT MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE WITH LINE REDUCING CONCENTRATE? (I AM 23YRS OLD.)NOW, I PUT CLEANGER-TONER-ULTRA MOISTURE CREAM-EYE CREAM .IF I USE BOTH, OR ONLY ONE THAT MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE OR LINE REDUCING CONCENTRATE, WHICH ONE DO I HAVE TO PUT FIRST? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! THANKS.

Best Answer:Dear Kiels, please stop asking your customers to answer questions about your products. I like the midnight recovery oil, but personally, I stopped use for a while because it seems to be making me break out. I have no idea of the effectiveness (let alone the safety) of combining its use with the other products this person needs help with. We pay enough for your products that you should staff these questions with skin care professionals. Thanks for listening.

Best Answer:I use it around my eyes and it has not caused any irritation. Be mindful, however, that it does have a lavender oil in it so I'm guessing that could cause irritation for some. Kiehls does sell a Midnight Recovery specifically for the eye area, but I think the consistency is different. I love the original because it disappears into the skin. P.S. I put a tiny droplet in my liquid foundation to make it smooth on easier:) Oh...one last thing...it lasts a loooong time. I bought my bottle Oct 2011 and still have at least a half of a bottle remaining. I hope this helps!

I woke up after using this with terribly swollen eyes. Has this happened to anyone else?

A shopper on Mar 24, 2015

Best Answer:I have very sensitive skin, especially around my eyes, and it doesn't take much for them to puff up with an allergic reaction! However, I've used Midnight Recovery for two years now and have not had the problem you mention. In my case, I just try never to put lotions, oils etc. close to my eyes unless it's an eye cream I can tolerate and that seems to help me.

I bought this about 2 years ago, in August 2013, and was wondering if it is still good to use it right now?

A shopper on Jan 15, 2015

Best Answer:I'm actually in the same boat and decided to get rid of it. I'm not sure but I felt like it started to give off a different aroma and likely wasn't as effective. Sorry, not very scientific but I hope that helps.Max

Best Answer:I wash my face very thoroughly before bed and apply the liquid by the little dropper to my forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. I then rub it into my skin. It has a wonderful sensation and is fully absorbed in just a few minutes.

Best Answer:I don't think any product can actually erase fine lines. I'd suggest you use the midnight recovery eye cream + avocado eye cream and finish the whole face with this serum before you go to bed. Fine lines will be less apparent in the morning.

Can I use the Midnight Recovery Concentrate by itself at night as a 'moisturizer' or does it have to be used in conjunction with another moisturizer?

A shopper on Feb 24, 2014

Best Answer:I think it's better to be used with another moisturizer. 'cause it's oil. it won't be absorbed completely by your skin. so another moisturizer will help to do so. like, you apply the essence or nutrition...whatever you call it ... you just apply it on your face, then you need something to make it stay longer~

There are many nights that I do not use a moisturizer and feel that the results are still better than if I wasn't using it. If I apply a few hours before going to bed, it isn't overly oily as it absorbs.

Best Answer:I do not have sensitive skin but this concentrate appears to be very mild. Love the results so far. Skin feels very soft and smooth. Maybe try one of the samples first to see how you skin reacts first but definitely worth trying.

Best Answer:I only use this at night because it works better with a clean face and no makeup. I am 65 years old and I also use the product Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution to go with the other product. I love both because the both work well for me.

The serum is called midnight recovery, so i was wondering if you have to apply it at midnight or about that time and then go to sleep. also i was wondering if it is okay to apply the serum two hours before i sleep.?

A shopper on Jul 15, 2013

Best Answer:When I first tried it I was hesitant to apply before sleep, but now that I use it frequently and love it, I sometimes even use it as an AM moisturizer. I think there would be no problem using it a couple of hours before bed. The product is designed for evening because that is when your skin cells renew during sleep plus it has essential oils like lavender that promote relaxation. I've had great success with the product and hope you will as well- whenever you use it!

This product has been suggested to me for Psoriasis and my Eczema-1Is it an appropriate product,? &2 how many times a week should I apply it?

A shopper on Apr 21, 2013

Best Answer:I don't have psoriasis or eczema, but if those are caused by dryness or astringent items, I think this product would be helpful. I read the ingredients and seems very natural and it's very moisterizing without being oily. I really like it and I let my son use it when he had some major dry skin from swimming/chlorine and he felt it worked.

Yes - I'd try it. I use it exclusively on my face but I have used it on my children's skin (toddlers) and it clears their eczema up quickly. I'd use it daily or 2xdaily (a drop will cover a decent area) until the skin clears. Expect good results within a week. Good luck!

does this go after my toner at night? with no mouristurizer before or after?

A shopper on Sep 28, 2012

Best Answer:I put this on after cleansing and applying toner. Then I put the midnight recovery concentrate on, using no additional moisturizers. My face is kept well hydrated until I shower the next morning.

I have really dry peeling patches of skin and my makeup won't even stick on my skin. I went to Nordstroms and the lady had me get the multi corrective creme and midnight recovery concentrate. She told me to put the creme on and the midnight recovery over it at night and just the creme during the day. I have been using it for 3 weeks and love how it feels but it isn't helping my dry patches. What would you recommend for my dry patches on my face? Thanks for your help

Best Answer:Really this product is meant to use at nighttime. Just warm a few drops in the palm of your hand and press into your clean and moisturized face and neck. Are you looking for a good moisturizer to wear with sunscreen for the daytime? The Midnight Recovery Concentrate is my favorite of all facial oils I have tried, and I have used quite a few. Hope this helps you. --aa

I am 73 and still work with young people and my skin naturally has wrinkles and I would like something to make it look better and at least not get to much worse is this your best product for this or can you recommend something better?

Best Answer:This is great for moisturizing & to decrease the look of wrinkles; also powerful line reducing concentrate seems to smooth the appearance of wrinkles very well ; I love both these but use midnight recovery at night & line reducing in the am before applying makeup

Best Answer:Well, I would suggest you to use either Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution or Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate in the morning, and use this Midnight Recovering only for night time
